Will, the translator hopes, be of some assistance to those who have the best title to expect it, and at the same time to any scientific reader who is desirous of perusing a slight out line of Swedenborg's physiological doctrines. The idea of giving a glossary of obsolete terms has been abandoned. Any old medical dictionary will supply all that could be desired in this respect. It will be for the readers of Swedenborg to consider, whether his physiological works shall not be illustrated with an Atlas of Plates from the old anato mists: but this can better be settled when the whole of those works are in print.

Download or read book The Individual in the Animal Kingdom Classic Reprint written by Julian Huxley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Individual in the Animal Kingdom Certain criticisms have convinced me that some explanation of the scope of this book will here not be out of place. The task I have attempted in the following pages is a two-fold one. First, I have tried to frame a general definition of the Individual, sufficiently objective to permit of its application by the man of science, while at the same time admitted as accurate (though perhaps regarded as incomplete) by the philosopher. Secondly, I have tried to show in what ways Individuality, as thus defined by me, manifests itself In the Animal Kingdom. I wish here to point out in general, that the failure of one of these aims does not preclude the success of the other; and, in particular, this - it is possible that the philosophically-minded will quarrel with my definition of the Individual (p. 28) as a continuing whole with inter-dependent parts (to put it at its baldest). But even if he denies that the definition applies to the Individual, he must, I think, admit that it does apply to something, and to something which plays a very important part in the organic world. He will, I believe, after reading the subsequent chapters, be brought to see that every living thing is in some way related to one of thesesystems, these continuing wholes; and that such wholes, though they may not in his eyes deserve the name of Individual, are yet sufficiently widespread and important to merit some title of their own. Put in other words, the major portion of this book is devoted to showing that living matter always tends to group itself into these closed, independent systems with harmonious parts. Though the closure is never complete, the independence never absolute, the harmony never perfect, yet systems and tendency alike have real existence. Such systems I personally believe can be identified with the Individuals treated of by the philosopher, and I have tried to establish this belief. But what's in a name? The systems are there whatever we may choose to call them, and if I have shown that, I shall be content. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Kingdom, Vol. 1: Based Upon the Writings of the Eminent Naturalists, Audubon, Wallace, Brehm, Wood, and Others It does not require to be pointed out how fascinating a study Natural History in all its branches must ever be, or what a perpetual source of interest can be found in observing the forms and habits Of the living creatures which meet our view whatever portion of the world we visit. Still more interesting and more instructive must be a knowledge Of that class of Animated Nature to which man himself belongs, and which contains such friends of man as the dog that guards him, the horse that labors for him, the ox that supplies him food, and the sheep that furnishes him with clothing; till man had brought these under his dominion, bow inconceivably helpless he must have been! NO less instructive is it to note how the lower animals differ from or resemble Man, the crown of Nature's work; how admirably each species is adapt-cd for the loca tion in which its lot is cast, and for the uses it has to fulfil in the economy of the world; how marvellously they are endowed with power and grace and beauty. Especially in the present day is a knowledge Of the elements Of Natural History a necessary part Of our education. This work claims to minister to the educational wants of all classes, and therefore carefully avoids discussion Of unsettled points, and states nothing but incontro vertible facts. The order in which the various genera of the Mammalia is placed has been adopted in accordance with the most eminent authorities. The first two chapters are devoted to an account of the system of classification of the Animal Kingdom, and therefore may prove less interesting to many readers than the following chapters, in which the different genera and species are described. And in which there is more Of living interest and entertaining narrative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Kingdom, Vol. 5: Arranged in Conformity With Its Organization To accomplish this object as far as possible, the following tabular view* is appended. This is intended to present, not merely a list of all the species hitherto known, but also their various synonyma with references to the first zoologists who have described them under each name given, and to the best figures, with occasional observations, parti cularly where any uncertainty seems to arise as to the real distinctiveness of any particular species. In presenting this list, however, with the authorities for the several species enumerated, it is by no means pretended to vouch for the accuracy or propriety of the specific separation of each; but they will be translated from the best monographs on the subject, revised by actual observations, as far as the collections of England, and the remarks of foreign writers, will permit.
